FC Bayern Munich is working through the Champions League defeat against outsiders FC Villarreal.

In this mixed situation, a video by Hasan Salihamidzic is eagerly shared on Twitter.

Munich – It took an hour after FC Bayern's Champions League knockout against Villarreal (1-1 in the second leg after 0-1 in the first leg) before Julian Nagelsmann came to the Munich press conference in the Allianz Arena.

FC Bayern Munich: Hasan Salihamidzic's work comes into focus

The coach of the German Bundesliga record champions* was asked if he had already spoken to his players.

"I haven't spoken to them yet.

We'll do that tomorrow morning.

They have to let that sink in.

Nobody listens to you anyway after a retirement like that,” said the 34-year-old from Upper Bavaria at the PK on the question.

But: Where was he instead for an hour?

Was there a first crisis meeting with the bosses?

Such is not handed down, but the assumption is not too far-fetched.

In addition to the coach, after the early exit against a supposedly inferior opponent in the premier class, the work of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has come into focus.

An example: Leroy Sané and Lucas Hernández, for whom Bayern with Brazzo as head of department spent a total fee of 140 million euros, played a weak Champions League quarter-finals.

In addition, the former Bundesliga player did not manage to stabilize the vulnerable and shaky defense with his transfers.

In addition to Corentin Tolisso, a third Munich star after David Alaba (to Real Madrid) and Niklas Süle (goes to Borussia Dortmund*) could leave Säbener Straße in Munich* for free in the summer.

Hasan Salihamidzic: Twitter video raises questions about FC Bayern sports director

So there is a lot for the sports director to do.

Just in this situation, a video of him appeared on Twitter, which raises questions about the failed Villarreal games.

The moderator of the club

asks the 45-year-old: "Let's put it this way: It's a doable draw." Salihamidzic then laughed loudly and heartily.

The video was presumably shared on Twitter by a fan of VfB Stuttgart, at least that's what his user name suggests, which is based on the founding year of the Swabian Bundesliga club.

In the past few days, his posting on Twitter has gone viral, has been shared, liked and commented on a lot.

And in these Salihamidzic does not come off well.

"As the saying goes: humility comes before a fall," writes a Twitter user in the comments.

"FCB Hybris" says another and another user who shared the video wrote: "Define arrogance".

Another comment: "Pride comes … let's leave it." Another user is already clearer: "Maybe some will learn from it and will not behave so arrogantly in the future."

Salihamidzic is also defended in individual comments.

A user writes: "Was he on the pitch or: MÜLLER, KIMMICH AND LEWA???" Thomas Müller, Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski* were indeed on the pitch.

And the processing of the unexpected continues at FC Bayern*.
